Thursday flu shot clinics scheduled at the Lenawee County Health Department because of increased demand will be longer than announced last week. A clinic on Jan. 30 will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. An hour was added since they were announced last week.

Appointments can be made by calling 264-5226 and choosing option 2. Appointments for flu shots can also be made for regular Wednesday immunization clinics.

Flu vaccinations are recommended for everyone 6 months and older.

In addition to getting a flu shot, county health officials recommended preventive actions such as washing hands to stop the spread of germs and taking flu antiviral drugs when prescribed by a doctor.
